Some years ago, Rainer implemented something like that, which works by
adding an (non-printable) transparent rectangle above the text. Not sure
whether newer Flash Players can be fooled by that, but it's worth a
try:

Change
//#define USE_WATERMARK 1   // set this flag to print-protect your swfs
to
#define USE_WATERMARK 1   // set this flag to print-protect your swfs
in line 46 of swfs/simple_viewer.c, then run "make;make install" again 
and run pdf2swf with the -b option:
    pdf2swf -b file.pdf -o file.swf

I'm very interesting in feedback whether this trick still works.
